Eiffel Tower has got a title 'Symbol of Love' is one of the World s greatest engineering marvels. It is a huge wrought iron skeleton tower designed and built by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, inaugurated on 31-03-1889 at 01.30pm and was luminated with10000 gas lamps.
Address: Eiffel Tower, Champ de Mars, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris, France.
Height: 300 m, 324 m to tip, and rised 984 feet from its base, which is 330 feet square.
The Story Behind the Eiffel Tower: it was built for the 1889 world Expo in Paris exactly as a centre piece of the Exposition Universelle, a world's fair designed to celebrate the Centennial year of the French Revolution.
It's famous because it was never supposed to stay there. Gustave Eiffel designed it for the temporary Exposition Universelle, and a lot of crazy other buildings and constructions were all around the Eiffel Tower during the Exhibition. But it looked so strange and became so popular that they didn't destroy it.
